Do you have any proof for that or are you just making this nonesense up. Your hatred for Mitt Romney is well known here

I guess you haven't been reading Mitt's writings, or watching the presidential debates. These matters have appeared quite recently in both, from Romney's own hand and mouth.

Mitt Romney essay

Romney claims that "altered nuclear transfer" doesn't involve cloning, or destroying human embryos, but it most certainly does.

May 4, 2007 – 11:23 am

Mitt Romney tried to dodge a question on embryonic stem-cell research, but Chris Matthews asked the tough questions. Again, Mitt flopped. Last night he said:

MODERATOR: And you won’t take any from these fertility clinics to use either?

ROMNEY: I’m happy to allow that to — or I shouldn’t say happy.It’s fine for that to be allowed, to be legal. I won’t use our government funds for that. Instead, I want our governments to be used on Dr. Hurlbut’s method, which is altered nuclear transfer.

__________________________________________________________

Altered nuclear transfer creates an embryo by means of cloning, disabling it in the process so that it theoretically cannot implant, and then harvesting the pluripotent cells...ie the cells that would become heart, brain, lungs, skin, etc., if they had left it alone and not played Mengele.

ANT is a scam. It's no wonder it's a perfect fit for Mitt Romney.

President Bush's Council on Bioethics has made the same recommendation regarding Alternative Sources of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells. I think Sen. Rick Santorum previously introduced legislation in support of this procedure as well. Here is the White Paper on it: http://www.bioethics.gov/topics/stemcells_index.html

FWIW there is also a newer bill in the senate proposing to use embryos that have died naturally for this procedure. They make an argument that it is akin to organ donation from a dead person into a living person to save them. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/61613.php

Why am I not surprised that Mittster would like ANT since it is so slick to deceive the public. One wonders if this guy realizes the public is not deaf and dumb to this dissembling. Purposely handicap a newly conceived human being so the utility of killing them for body parts looks like it’s making good use of a poor circumstance, yet the scientists create the poor circumstance of being handicapped. It reminds me of the try at obfuscating with ‘therapeutic cloning’ to get public accpetance of cloning just not to birth children only make parts providers out of the alive unborn. Disgusting, and even more disgusting that those we thought were pro-life will defend this ghoulish crap because they want their man elected.
